    Fun-4-Friday: 3/16/2018

    Hello there and welcome to Fun-4-Friday! This isn't just any old Friday... It's the Friday before St. Patrick's Day... St. Patrick's Eve if you will. So we need Irish music and lots of it! My choices, obviously will be from within and near the realm of alternative rock, but I'm going beyond the usual four songs on the Friday playlist. Let's get crazy shall we? We'll start with the ever lovable Shane MacGowan and The Pogues. You can't have a rock & roll St. Patty's Day without

    Fun-4-Friday: 3/9/2018

    Welcome back to Friday, everyone! It was an eventful week in music history, including David Bowie's first ever television appearance. He was part of a blues outfit called The Manish Boys that appeared on the BBC's "Gadzooks" program. Bowie was going by the name of Davy Jones, which he soon ditched, due in-part to confusion with the other Davy Jones from The Monkees. American music magazine, "Creem" was published for the first time on March 5th, 1969. Credited by some as the

    Hello and welcome back to Knock Knock: New Music! There's a number of things going on in music history this week, including David Bowie's first-ever television appearance (before he was even known as "Bowie.")

    Fun-4-Friday: 2/23/2018

    Hello again and welcome back to Fun-4-Friday! This is still a work-in-progress, as I'm trying to sharpen-the-focus of each of my features. Let's talk music history for this week... I mentioned in Knock Knock: New Music! back on Monday, that 2/18/1998 was the day Robert Smith of The Cure turned into a giant moth and battled a mechanical-Godzilla version of Barbra Streisand in Season One of South Park. That was Episode-12: "Mecha-Streisand." Near the end of the epsiode Kyle Br

    Knock Knock: New Music! 2/12/2018

    Hello hello and welcome to another edition of Knock Knock: New Music! February 12th marks an anniversary for those of us who grew-up in the Boston area in the 1980's. Though MTV went on the air in 1981, many of us did not have cable. Living on Cape Cod, we were in-range of the over-the-air broadcast signals from television stations in both Boston and Providence, RI. At my house, my family had a rooftop antenna that picked-up the primary VHF stations that carried network prog

    Knock Knock: New Music! 2/5/2018

    Hello there and welcome to another edition of Knock Knock: New Music! Hopefully, you have the day off and are not too hungover or stuffed following last night's Superbowl. Now that football is in the rearview mirror until next September, I'm ready to focus on the Celtics & Bruins. The Red Sox are also not far-off... I just noticed in checking this year's schedule that Spring Training games for the Sox begin in February and the regular season opens early at the end of March.

    Welcome to "I Listen with Kristen!"

    Hi everyone and welcome to my new project, "I Listen with Kristen!" My new website and YouTube channel will focus on some of my favorite things, not the least of which is music! Music has been a constant companion of mine since I was four years old and commandeered my parent's transistor radio. Alternative Rock is definitely my favorite, but I run into many interesting songs that swerve off into other genres. This project gives me the opportunity to share some of those tu
